Majorly Annoyed - 06-13-2012

Have been getting calls from this 830-637-7238 number four times a day consistently for the last two weeks but have never answered it. They've been ringing my phone exactly four times each day, usually about within half an hour of 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM Monday through Friday.

Today I finally decided to answer it and play along to find out what the storyline would be. "Curtis" (with an Indian accent) says he is with JDA. Says that Mr. ________ (the correct name of my company's CEO) had communicated with Curtis and that our CEO had suggested that Curtis contact me as the VP of ________ (providing my correct title). He wanted to setup a meeting between me and his manager, James Stafford, next week to discuss JDA's product. I told him I wanted to review what JDA has to offer by looking over their website first. Only after that would I decide whether or not to setup such a meeting. Curtis told me JDA's website is JDA.com.

I asked for James Stafford's phone number and Curtis gave me the number 830-637-7238. Curtis suggested he could email the correspondence between JDA and our CEO for me to review. I declined telling him that our company policy doesn't allow us to give out our email address to cold callers. He said that it's not necessary for me to tell that because he already had my email address, it is _______ (reciting my correct email address). I said nevertheless I'd prefer not to receive email until after I had opportunity to review the JDA.com website and I would contact James if I was interested. I asked if I could get James's email address and he told me his address is david.stuttard@jpa.com. Doing a Google search of the Name "David Stuttard" with JDA, of the name "James Stafford" with JDA, and of the phone number 830-637-7238 I couldn't find anything.

JDA (JDA.com) does seem to be a major and reputable company dealing in areas that would be applicable to my field, so clearly between this fact and all the other details Curtis provided, this seems a fairly targeted cold calling campaign. Still there is no way our CEO directed them to me without letting me know. And it ticks me off that they call incessantly sometimes leaving stupid phone messages of nothing more than half a minute of music.
